Add-On Tonal Tracing

While Tonal Tracing is a module of the Printing Studio Suite, it can also be used as a stand-alone solution, offering all of the tools necessary to process a tonal file from scan to final production ready color separations.

Tonal Tracing offers a full compliment of true color drawing and repeat tools, along with the ability to extract full tonal layers, with unlimited color mixing.

In combination with NedGraphics Tonal Plug-In (NTP), Tonal Tracing can also be considered as the perfect ‘repeat’ companion to Photoshop for single layer 24bit files or multi spot channel separations.

Once designs have been separated into tonal layers, colorations can be performed with our signature simulation of bulk production for various colorants such as reactive, pigment, heat transfer and wallcovering methods. Color separations can be exported in production ready gray-levels or rasterized for more traditional film plotting.

Tonal Tracing can also be used as a standalone solution, offering all you need to process a tonal file from scan to final production ready color separations.
